He turned sideways and looked at Zhou Shuwan's sleeping face in the dim light. Her brows were furrowed, and she could hardly relax even in her sleep.

He reached out his hand and gently smoothed her furrowed brow, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

He knew that Zhou Shuwan wanted to find Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu more than anyone else, and the pressure and anxiety prevented her from truly relaxing and resting.

Qi Mingyu sighed, withdrew his hand and closed his eyes.

He was also tired, both physically and mentally, but he had to stay awake. In this crisis-ridden environment, he had to protect Zhou Shuwan and the two elders.

Outside the cave, the wind and snow were raging, and the snowflakes scraped against the mountain wall like knives, making sharp whistling sounds.

In the cave, the four of them slept in each other's arms, leaning on each other for warmth. On cold winter nights, they supported each other and became each other's only support.

When Qi Mingyu woke up, the whistling sound of the wind in his ears was much quieter.

Grandma Pang got up early, so she was the last one to keep watch, which was from four to six in the morning.

Qi Mingyu whispered to Grandma Pang to sleep a little longer. Grandma Pang shook her head and lowered her voice: "You are old and you don't know how to sleep."

Although I was very tired, I couldn't fall asleep.

Zhou Shuwan carefully got out of the sleeping bag, walked to the cave entrance, and looked out from the small hole above the cave entrance. The sky was gray and the wind and snow had indeed died down a lot, with only fine snowflakes still falling.

He couldn't move the water tank at the entrance of the cave, so he could only rely on Zhou Shuwan's space.

However, he also wanted the other party to rest for a while, so he simply came back and sat face to face with Grandma Pang.

Grandma Pang looked up at the cave ceiling and shook her head: "We can't stay here for much longer. After just one night, the ceiling will start dripping!"

Before going to bed, they did some simple treatment and roughly wrapped the top of the cave with a layer of plastic sheeting. The dripping water fell on the plastic sheeting and rolled down the side.

It won't affect the sleep of several people.

Qi Mingyu responded in a low voice: "Yes, I just checked the sky outside, it's not snowing anymore. We can continue our journey after breakfast."

Grandma Pang glanced at Qi Mingyu, opened her mouth, and wanted to ask something, but finally closed it.

Qi Mingyu took the initiative to speak: "Grandma, I know you are worried about my father, Zhiyi, Mingfeng and the others, but now even Xiaoxiao and Mingyue are missing, and their whereabouts are even more unknown. In the face of natural disasters, people can only take care of themselves and not too much about others. We were with Mumu and my mother-in-law, but in the end, something happened to them. No matter how many people there are, it is even more so..."

Qi Mingyu's words were very tactful, but Grandma Pang understood them.

Yes, Xiaoyu is right.

Under the circumstances at that time, each of them had no choice!

I have lived well to this age, all thanks to Xiaoyu, a capable child who protected me desperately!

She sighed deeply, finally letting go of the anxiety and worry in her heart. "You're right, Grandma wants too much. Everyone has their own destiny. Your father and his family have lived well for more than eight years in the apocalypse. They are capable, and there's no need for you to do anything! It's hard enough for you to just take care of me!"

If Xiaoyu couldn't protect her, she could at least protect Wanwan and prevent her from getting hurt...

Zhou Shuwan lay there, quietly listening to Qi Mingyu and Grandma Pang talking.

Between them are blood relatives Qi Zhenmin, Qi Zhiyi and Qi Mingfeng, and now it is a matter of life and death. Although Grandma Pang doesn't say it, she feels uneasy in her heart.

There is nothing that can be done about it. No one can watch his own son die and remain indifferent!

This is human nature!

Fortunately, Grandma Pang was a very understanding old lady. Once she talked to her, the discomfort in her heart went away.

Zhou Shuwan saw that Zhou Jianghai had also woken up and was lying there dozing off.

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled slightly.

After everyone got up, they put away the water tank blocking the cave entrance, and Qi Mingyu and Zhou Jianghai began to clear the snow at the cave entrance.
